This one was a good one. As always all good you and James Prigeoni are some of the best gardeners ever.
Wow
This is Possibly the best thoroughly detailed and explained tutorial on youtube on growing cilantro, thanks for this you got a new subscriber
I agree
that paper towel trick for watering was genius!
Large "Costco size" plastic coffee can with drain holes poked in the bottom make good pots. My repurposing thought of the day.
Why the heck not Charles! Great for Cilantro, Basil, Dill......make a whole herb garden! :-)
Is rust an issue ?
@@markrodgers1965No because it's plastic. The plastic is definitely an issue though. Yes, this idea will work but anything that holds dirt will too. Try using something NOT made from plastic.
The best cilantro growing tips so far that I have seen on the internet! Thanks!
OK!
I started mint from a bunch I got at Loblaws that I couldn't finish - should have done this years ago!
Propagated basil from a dying plant I found the same week.
Watched your sweet potato slips video last week - 2 orange sweet potatoes are laying on their sides in their own food container greenhouses on a radiator and I'm tracking progress.
Now coriander seeds are getting soaked tomorrow.
I'm determined to turn this Toronto studio apartment into an indoor jungle, but when it comes to plants my preferences are usually for the edible and medicinal. Only discovering now that many of these thrive indoors. Add to the list of "Things I Wish I'd Known In My Twenties".
Please keep including indoor farming tips!
OMG, that is amazing Maribelle! You need to document this! Love it!
Thanks for showing the start to finish with great helpful tips.
Beautifully explained!
Well done !
I will so try this method
I'm glad you talked about the spider mites. I read somewhere that they don't like cilantro plants, but they definitely destroyed the last set I had that was growing indoors. I can't wait to get my indoor (and outdoor!) garden going again when I move to my new house!
Yeah, I read that too...we must have special Spider Mites then, LOL!!
👍
great videos. you have a natural gift of teaching. your voice is so soothing.
Cheers achsah, very kind of you to say! :-)
Hi from an American living in Italy.
Thank you so much for your great instruction on growing cilantro indoors. I'm going to give it a try asap! Last year I tried seed starter trays and frankly it was a disaster.
I hope your method works for me because my husband and I love the stuff! I love to cook dishes from Mexico and Indian but you are absolutely right about using it in so many dishes. Thanks again!
Thanks Paula! Once you get going with it and get a rhythm with Cilantro, you'll find it easier. Heat to germinate, room temp to grow, moderate light. DON'T over water. Start a new cycle every 3-4 weeks and never buy Cilantro again! Cheers!
I just planted some cilantro indoors after watching this video. Thanks for all the great tips!
Awesome! Best of luck! Report back with your success!
This is a clear , informative and nice presentation of how to grow Cilantro ! Thank you
Cheers janny, happy growing!
So excited that I found you!!!
Thanks
Extremely well explained. Thank you. I will surely give it a try.
Through much trial & even more error, I’ve started growing my cilantro AND dill indoors through the summer so I will have plenty of it when my cucumbers, tomatoes & peppers are ready for pickles & salsa! 😋 Thanks for the awesome video 👍🏼
I am right there with you. I also grow radishes, carrots, basils, many lettuces, and a few others indoors. Butterheads have a quick turn around time. I grow it all hydroponically so the pest problem isn't an issue either.
really great video, well put together and fun to watch!! great job and thank you!
Thanks for that Erynn...Cilantro always puts me in a good mood! :-)
Absolutely love this video!! I tried growing cilantro twice with 0% germination rate only to realize that the seeds were roasted( used for cooking)!! I have to purchase regular seeds and try again...thanks for this great video!!
Thanks Sudha! Yes, that's the tricky thing with Coriander is that the seeds are so awesome for cooking, often people buy them not knowing they've been processed and rendered sterile. Just make sure to get fresh seeds and you'll be growing your own in no time! Also, they flower readily and produce tons of seeds if that's what you are after as well! :-)
Thanks for the tips…..and encouragement! I’m doing it! And indoors!
Just watched your show today and I must say that I was impressed. I am starting a batch of cilantro tomorrow and this comes in handy. I also subscribed to your channel. Thanks so much.
Right on Kevin, thanks so much for the support! Cilantro is so awesome. Warm temps for germination, room temps for growth. Moderate light and don't overwater. It will grow massive for you! :-)
I love herbs!! Any kind of herbs...and I hope you do more of them!! Love love Cilantro but never thought of growing indoors, so I seeds, gonna try it! thank you so much for the courage! All the best from NY!
Its so awesome because now we aren't governed by the calendar....we can enjoy fresh Cilantro any time we want!! Cilantro Turkey for Christmas?? ;)
Just planted my seeds following your guide (thanks!). Fingers crossed and we’ll see in a week :)
I really like your videos. Full of information and you solved my coriander indoor growing problem. Thank you!
Cilantro is my favorite! Going to try this indoor. Thank you for tour videos! 👍🏻
Hey Valerie, me too! Without Basil, Cilantro, and Garlic..food as I know it would cease to exist! LOL! Cheers.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Indeed!!! 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Will be trying this. Love cilantro.
Thanks Sara, appreciate that! Cilantro is soooo good....I put it right up there with Basil!
I really like your in-depth videos. Inspiring 😇
Very comprehensive. Thanks.
Thank you. That was the best concise guide I have seen
Cheers Regina, thanks so much for watching! :-)
Can’t wait, cilantro is one of my favorite herbs!
The best! I can't live without it. Just like Garlic.....we eat so much its ridiculous!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Same here!
Great video! Very thorough. I'm starting cilantro seeds indoors today with starter trays and a heating mat. Thanks!
Right on Chris! Can never have enough!
Thank you for this video...I'm going to start planting mine indoor tomorrow..😊😊
This was so informative. Thank you.
Hey thanks, glad you got something from it!
I have been growing cilantro inside since May. Have had excellent results, just as you described. Thank you!
That's awesome Janis! Any other herbs? Basil is roughly the same, I'm going to tackle Dill for the next video! Sort of an under-the-radar herb, especially for indoors....
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Growing parsley from seed and growing great guns, can almost see it grow. Dug up sage and rosemary, potted and brought inside (zone 5b). Rosemary doing well, sage is stagnant. Divided outdoor lemon balm and potted half to bring inside, doing well. Brought potted scallions inside, starting to take off with fertilizer and good lighting. Started growing microgreens in September, having a blast. Put them in my smoothie every day.
@@janismoore4554 Sage is always tricky with me too. No idea why. I think its pH.
I love this video. It gave me a lot of good tips. I'm going to plant some cilantro today!
Right on D, best of luck!
Great video, I am going to give this a try.
I enjoy watching your videos...I love your great enthusiasm!
Hey thanks, appreciate it! :-)
Thank you for this.
I've had great luck with cilantro here. I start early indoors, then move outside in spring. And the great part is letting some of it go to seed both for spice and seed.
That's awesome Dave. That's the trajectory I am leaning towards as well.
You are great. I love your channel. I judged you before I listened. My bad, and sorry. I will share you with my other indoor and outdoor gardeners like myself. You explain it so well.
Thanks so much Dervie, appreciate the support! Happy growing!
Thank you for sharing this 👍🌱
Cheers Tam, thanks for watching!
Fantastic! Thank you 😃👍👍👍🎈
I was doing most of what you said for growing and my cilantro was doing good. My dad said that I needed to keep it soaked and out in the sun (95-105 F*) they started withering and dying. I'm never listening to my dad about how to grow plants ever again. I have them back inside but I think I will do the one thing you suggested that I hadn't done... put them in a larger container to begin with. Thank you for this very informational video.
Thanks from Italy, I love Indian cuisine and I've been trying to grow coriander for the past year with poor results - I found new plants that grew in the last month randomly in my outdoor pots and they look healthier than the ones I was growing during the summer... That tip with the paper sheet looks great.
So awesome! I honestly can't have a salad without cilantro now, even if it's worth a curry or not! Cheers!
Me too 😋. Does Italian cuisine also utilise corriander?
Thank you so much for making this video
Cheers Suma x2, thanks for watching. :-)
Hi 👋, thank you for the upload 😀! I'm new to your channel! I Love Cilantro ! They smell wonderful ! Winter time here 12-2020 so can't wait to plant Cilantro in the house!
Same here! Thanks for the support, good luck with the Cilantro!
Thanks for sharing.I will try indoor.Greetings from Sri.Lanka.
Cheers Melani, best of luck!
Thank you you explain easy way 🤩👍🙏🏻
ThanQ for this amazing video! My bunny Dilly loves Cilantro💛💚💛💗💛🧡💚and it also makes a just a beautiful potted indoor plant👍👍🌿👍🌿🌿🌿. LUV the papertowel trick😁😁😁👍👍👍
Ha ha, but what about Dill?? ;-) Yeah, bunnies eat it like spaghetti, its funny to watch. Parsley too!
I grow cilantro hydroponically in my indoor garden downstairs! Works great! I need to replant some new seeds as my plants bolted about a month ago, used what I could and then got rid of those plants.
Awesome Denise! What sort of nutrient solution are you using/recommend?
Me cayo del cielo este video desde colombia gracias
Very informative video!
Thanks, appreciate the support. :-)
Very informative, thank you so much! I will switch from my veg garden to indoors. I planted the seeds in June thinking I will just have a later crop. Turns out it doesn't work that way. Even Polish weather was already too hot for it.
Thanks bro i'll give it a go .
Really great information
Thank you
Cheers shakti, thanks for watching!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms
Can I start Indoor hydroponic with CFL lights to grow leafy plant like coriander?
Super. I will try. 😅❤ thanks.
Love your videos
Cheers Monika, thanks for watching! :-)
You are a genius guy, thanks so much to give a million dollar idea , I should try growing coriander inside not outside.
Can you plant those seeds from the germination test?
AWESOME VIDEO ,
Cheers Jose, thanks for watching!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms YOU'RE WELCOME BRO,
Thank you!
Great tip with paper towel! ☺️
Thanks! Works great with ALL shallow-sown herb seeds too! :-)
Thanks chef
back again for some more cilantro goodness
The best!!
Thanks for your teaching i have try to grow so many times without success thanks again
Looking forward to this. I need to have a lot of cilantro every day so it’s a must I learn to grow them.
We eat it every day too Angela! Its literally amazing on everything and the grocery store stuff is always so mushy!
Thank you 🙏
Cheers Toyin, thanks for watching!
Frustrated? Ah 👍. I tried several times last year, all of them bolted. This year I tried to grow it in a pot on front porch, less heat. Minimal results. I'll be trying to grow it indoors. Thank you for this post
That paper towel trick was just a wonder!
7:29 Brilliant!!!
Right? Works for so many seeds....and literally all herbs! :-)
Thank you
I have subscribed!
Nice video, thank you! I did not see how often and how to water the plants after germination?
I came for the cilantro video. I subscribed because of the Roughriders toque.
Ha ha, yessssss!
Thank you. Looking to try to do some herb gardening indoors, since we're in Arizona.
Perfect place for it!
Hello from South Africa. Absolutely loved your video. Thank you so much for including metric measurements and temperatures in degrees Celsius. It's so annoying to have to pause every time and convert measurements and temperatures. I'm a new gardener and I will definitely check all your other videos.
Definitely Zahida!! Gotta have both imperial and metric!! Thanks! :-)
I've looked at 4 videos just now, my first ever green that I am about to grow. I have liked & subscribed. The first video I saw the lady crushed the seeds & I am about to comment on her video that this process can do more harm then good 🤪
Can you plant the germinated seeds you got when you put in the zipblock?
Colantro is nice i like planting it
Definitely up there with Basil for my favorite herbs!
I have split the round seed shells and have found a good quantity that are empty versus fewer that actually have a seed in them. I have come to the conclusion that many seeds shoot blanks?????
Thanks for this guidance…I’m just in the process of planting cilantro and find your advice makes great sense….I’ll definitely give it a try.
Thankyou👍💚
No problem! :-)
I love ur channel
Thanks! Appreciate that!
I love your videos! I'm a total newbie to growing and I live in some of the harshest conditions - South Texas heat, but north-facing apartment (NO direct sun ever!), postage-stamp-size deck, tiny stuffed apartment lol. So I was excited to see cilantro on the list of herbs that could be grown in shade because they'll tolerate it. Never heard of the heat source you use to germinate your seeds though? What's that? :) Thank you so much!!
That IS a tough place to grow! For sure though, take advantage of pairing up the plants with spaces they can utilize. Even grow indoors, like this Cilantro here, as well as Basil and Oregano! For my heat source, I just use a heat mat. You can use one designed for seeds, or even the ones for pet reptiles...same technology!
I see that cirlantro has shallow roots but I don"t know why the roots usually stay above the soil after bringing them home from the store although the pot is big and deep. Great video.
Well, you just answered my questions. Back to the "planting board" 😆This is the weirdest herb out there- in my opinion. 2 in my house hate it- tastes like soap. But they love coriander. And then 2 love cilantro, and coriander upset's their stomach.
This seed viability test makes SO much sense!!!
You have inspired hope in me lol
I've been trying to grow cilantro in indoor hydroponic gardens. And I think I had two seeds sprout out of 12 or 20 that I planted 😩 I have thrown away 4 hydroponic pods already cuz after 2 weeks they started to mold not germinate! 🙄
(And I will probably be throwing away two more 🤦♀️)
BECAUSE OF YOUR COACHING I just started two batches of paper towel seeds from two different suppliers and I will see which one gives me the higher germination ratio!!!. 🤓
Plus, instead of wasting pods and putting three seeds per pod and waiting two weeks to see if any sprout,
within a week-ish I should have some sort of sprouting action in the two paper towel batches. Then I can move the successful sprouts into the pods!!! 💖
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!!!
It really does help! Its such a quick way of knowing whether or not the seeds are good so you don't waste any time!
Yeah cilantro def will root rot with too much water
I use cilantro quite daily, i have 2 big pots of them growing on my balcony 😊😊. Very nice video thank you 👍👍
Right on Alix! Are you able to multi harvest and keep the plants growing for a long time?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes I did it last winter and worked great. I never knew cilantro loved the cold weather as im from mauritius and its hot there.
@@alixstaven4001 yeah, it's pretty amazing how both Basil and Cilantro really respond to cooler conditions. Wonder if it affects the flavor as well?!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms my basil is dying but for cilantro the flavour remain the same 😊
@@alixstaven4001 Oh no, I spoke too soon too! Mine just got attacked by fungus gnats!! That's what I get for using store-bought potting soils.. :(
Cilantro, Coriander, Dhanya, an important ingredient for your delicious Curries, and Dahls.
Thank you from Scotland.
One of the most important! Cheers Zainab! :)
And great in Mexican dishes!!
@@MikeR65 Definitely!!!
used some coco coir with some left over fox farm from my cana grow and ohhh boy!!! we eating salsa tonight!!! pretty much the same steps lol
Perfect! Where in the world are you growing?
Mystery Solved! Thank you. I was curious when/where the actual cilantro leaves would emerge from the sprouts. #firsttimegrowerhere
Yeah, right out of the center, that's where all the action is, LOL! Thanks for watching Nancy! :-)
Great explanation! How often should it be watered? Thank you!
Hey Mirian, thanks! I usually water my Cilantro once a week or less. It depends on soil, temperature, airflow, and pot size. So your schedule may vary.
Thank you! Gonna try! It is my favorite herb! One thing, though, keep my home at 65 degrees!!! 🙄
Right on Soraya...heat will sprout it faster and more uniform. Try placing it on top of your fridge...that's usually the warmest spot.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms wow! Thank you. Gonna start again with the cilantro and beet seeds and place on top of fridge!
@@plzhd2 awesome! Remember, beets are a cool weather crop... You can easily sow them when the weather is still cold!
Thank you for sharing. Is there any way to prevent those bugs indoors?
Hi Bridget, I try to remove as much manually if I see an outbreak, then I'll go with the soap spray to break the egg cycle: th-cam.com/video/QxOxoJPAWCo/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial, thank you!
The basic idea - unless with something like basil - is that key to success is big numbers, right?
I've been growing the stuff outside in a big pot until it flowered and grew seeds and crumbled those right back in the same pot for succession sowing. Worked for me.
Also people I know have used coriander from the spices departement - that stuff is so cheap that even 50% germination rate wont bother you.
And if those seeds couldnt germinate while being stuck together in that pod and needed someone to crack them first, why would they have evolved to grow like this? ;-)
I started planting cilantros indoor from seeds in a 24-cell seedling tray. I put 3 cilantro seeds per cell and after 10 days, the seedlings were sprouting. I am wondering what the next step should be. Should I thin them? Can I not thin them and combine them into one bigger pot so that I can save some space? Thanks!
Hi there! Any advice on what I can use to prevent the spider mite and other creatures of destroying the plant? Thanks in advance.
What should I do about mats from my soil?
In your other Cilantro video you say to only water from the bottom. Which is correct? thank you.
💚
There's some great information in this video. I'm confused about soil temperature. Why do all my seed packets suggest planting when there's frost or at least cold weather?
Your Cilantro seed packets say that? Some plants for sure can be planted in colder ground (beets, carrots, peas)....but not Cilantro. It won't germinate.
I live in Victoria and have had not luck with cilantro!
